 WARNING

Neglected or poorly conducted maintenance may 
create additional hazards. Do not attempt to repair or 
maintain this product if you are not quali

fi

 ed to do so. 

If in doubt, return to a service centre for professional 
assistance.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most 
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of 
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. 
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, lubricant, grease.

 WARNING

Do not at any time let brake 

fl

 uids, petrol, petroleum-

based products, penetrating lubricants, etc., come 
in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, 
weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious 
personal injury.

You can often make adjustments and repairs described in 
this manual. For other repairs, have the trimmer serviced 
by a service dealer.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER (FIG. 9)

A dirty air 

fi

 lter will cause starting dif

fi

 culty, loss of 

performance, and shorten the life span of the engine. 
Check the air 

fi

 lter monthly. For best performance, replace 

the air 

fi

 lter at least once a year.

 

Loosen the air filter cover (item 21) by turning the knob 
(item 22) counterclockwise.

 

Remove the air filter (item 20).

 

Clean the foam filter element with warm soapy water. 
Rinse and let dry. 

NOTE:

 If the foam 

fi

 lter element is damaged, it should be 

replaced.

 

Apply a light coat of engine oil to the foam filter 
element, then squeeze it out.

 

Reinstall the air filter. 

NOTE:

 Make sure the 

fi

 lter is seated properly inside the 

cover. Installing the 

fi

 lter incorrectly will allow dirt to enter 

the engine, causing rapid engine wear. 

 

Reinstall the cover and tighten knob to secure.

 WARNING

Make sure the trimmer head stops rotating when you 
release the trigger. Contact with a rotating trimmer head 
could cause personal injury.

CHECKING THE FUEL CAP

 WARNING

A leaking fuel cap is a 

fi

 re hazard and must be replaced 

immediately.

The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable 

fi

 lter  and 

check valve. A clogged fuel 

fi

 lter causes poor engine 

performance. If performance improves when the fuel cap 
is loosened, the check valve may be faulty or the 

fi

 lter may 

be clogged. Replace the fuel cap if necessary.

REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG (FIG. 10)

This engine uses a Champion RCJ6Y or NGK BPMR7A 
spark plug. Use an exact replacement and replace 
annually.
Follow these steps to replace the spark plug.

 

Remove the spark plug boot (item 23).

 

Loosen the spark plug (item 24) by turning it 
counterclock wise with a 16mm socket.

 

Remove the spark plug.

 

Hand thread the new spark plug, turning it clockwise.

 

Tighten with a socket. Do not overtighten.

 CAUTION

Be careful not to cross-thread the spark plug. Cross-
threading will seriously damage the engine.

CLEANING THE SPARK ARRESTOR (FIG. 11)

Follow these steps to clean the spark arrestor.

 

Locate the spark arrestor (item 25) through the hole on 
the muffler exit hole.

 

Remove the spark arrestor using needle-nosed pliers.
